7 tips to having a good sleep when you’re heavily pregnant

1. Try to go for a short walk every day.
2. Don’t get over-tired, nap if you need to (and can) during the day.
3. As you are now only able to sleep on your sides, make sure your bump is supported with a pillow.
4. Is your room the right temperature? It’s better to be a bit cooler than too warm.
5. Keep your blood sugar levels up – have a healthy snack an hour before going to bed.
6. Avoid drinking in the last hour before bedtime… It might save you one trip to the loo!
7. If you haven’t done hypnobirthing classes to help teach you how to relax, download a sleep meditation app. This will help you relax on those nights when you’re tossing and turning (and infuriated by your partners snoring!)
